Venue. Another key aspect to the wedding is deciding where to hold it. More and more people are deciding on a Daylesford wedding and many of these are held at the beautiful Sault Restaurant. Driving past on the weekends one can often feel the energy and excitement coming from the guests who are mingling and having photos taken amongst the beautiful backdrops that surround Sault.

One of the owners of Sault Restaurant, Jodi Flockhart, believes that the planning of a wedding should be a fun, exciting and wonderful process. “Many magazines make out that a wedding will be a huge ordeal” says Jodie. This is not how it should be.

“At Sault I assist the bride in the planning of her day as soon as the booking is made.”

“We have developed a very extensive supplier contact list that we pass on to our brides. I wish I had that list when I was planning my day!”

“The list includes celebrants, bands, make up artists, florists, accommodation ideas, photographers…. and so much more.”

Jodie talks with great enthusiasm about all of the suppliers on the list, but there is one that really excites her. Loretta Connors of Whitemoss. A brilliant artist. The way she arranges flowers and keeps coming up with new ways to wow her brides is amazing in Jodie’s opinion.

Jodie’s experience is that once the venue is booked the rest should flow naturally.

Jodie understands that each bride’s needs are different, from the very simple and subtle to the flamboyant and sumptuous.

“We are really lucky to be situated in Daylesford with such wonderful country surrounds to create a stunning and memorable day with the wealth of fantastic local produce we can bring to the guests’ dining experience.”

To conclude, Jodie says it all. “Daylesford is perfect for a wedding. When the lavender is in flower at Sault and the sun gently dips below the lake, the bride and groom bathed in the golden glow of candle light and smiling; my job couldn’t get any better.”
